Meeting the Neighbor

Mason Knight Above

Mason's POV

I walk into my apartment and take a deep breath, happy to be away from the huge crowd at the grocery store. My apartment is very simple, two bedroom, one bath, with a small kitchen leading into slightly bigger living room. It has color pallet of light blues to navy's with decorations to make it feel more homey.

   This apartment is awesome because my neighbor is never home, I've heard he is in the army. I hope I never meet him he probably really buff and could beat me up.

    I'm Mason Knight, 23, about 5 foot 9 with bright blue eyes and ink black hair. I never really had a great childhood my mom passed away when I was 12 from cancer, from then my dad drank to much and became verbally abusive. The punches, kicks, and slaps started later when I came out to him as gay. Even thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine. Ughhhhh.

   I ran away after high school and escaped, I went to Princeton in New Jersey to get my teaching degree. I still have a large fear of people especially large men, since my dad was 6 foot 4. I also constantly stutter because of my abuse, but I love little kids because they are so innocent and kind, adults are corrupted and rude.

   Let's put away these groceries! I get up and start putting them away when I hear the door slam from the next door. No,no,no it can't be no,no,no it can't be.

   All I hear is a baby crying and crying and crying. I check the clock 12:43 why can't the mom shut this baby up. I finally fall asleep to the sound of a person singing.

   I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door. Who could this be... is it my father? Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god.

   I open up the door to see...
